Default Depression!!!

Another 20 inches of snow in southern Minnesota yesterday. Just when we thought we were getting close to getting back on the road, bang, another blizzard! Hope this is the last one for the year! Trying to remain positive, but it is not easy! Hope most of you are already back on the road and enjoying your cars. Maybe by the end of the month we'll get there too.

Feel for you man, but just think how much fun it will be when you get your baby back out on the road.

I was hoping for this weekend also but it's raining here so it's a no go. I can wait.

Damn, that is a lot of snow. We didn't come anywhere near that much snow for the entire year. I sympathize with you.

I saw all the snow on the news. They were expecting 6-12'' here North of you but system moved South far enough to miss us here in Willmar, MN. So the wife and I got the vette and went North for a great ride.
